3. Mini Drone Weapon

4. Introduction
• A type of autonomous military robot.
• Need no intervention by a human operator.
• Also called “Slaughter-Bots”
• Automatic defensive system.
• Automatic offensive system.

5. Difference with existing drones
Drone weapons should not be confused
with "combat drones", which are currently
remote-controlled by human pilots. Even
though combat drones can fly autonomously,
they do not fire autonomously, but rather by a
trained human operator.

6. Automatic Defensive System
• Can autonomously identify and
attack oncoming missiles, rockets, artillery
fire, aircraft and surface vessels.
• The main reason for not having a "human in
the loop" in these systems is the need for
rapid response.

7. Autonomous Offensive System
• Can autonomously search, identify and locate
enemies and engage with the target according
to the commands set.
• Can also defend itself against enemy aircrafts.

8. Ethical and legal issues
• Risk of "killer robots" roaming the earth - in
the near or far future.
• The group Campaign to Stop Killer
Robots formed in 2013.
• In July 2015, over 1,000 experts in artificial
intelligence signed a letter warning of the
threat of an arms race in military artificial
intelligence and calling for a ban
on autonomous weapons.

11. Self Driving Car

12. What is Self-driving car?
• A Self-driving car also know as Autonomous
car & robot car.
• It’s a vehicle that can drive it self from one
point to another without any assistance from
driver.
• In other words it is operated in auto pilot
system.

13. Purpose of Self-driving car
• Driver error is the most common cause of
traffic accidents.
• Cell phone in car, entertainment systems,
more traffic, more complicated road system
making it more frequent.
• By this improving technology this car will do
the concentrating for us.

14. History
• This project is currently being led by:
“Sebastian Thrun”.
• Director of “The Stanford Artificial Intelligence
Laboratory”.
• Co-Inventor of Google street view.

18. Night Vision

19. INTRODUCTION
• The word ‘Night vision’ itself means the ability to
see in low light conditions.
• The original purpose of night vision was to locate
enemy targets at night.

20. History:
• The first practical night vision devices were
developed in Germany in the mid-1930s and
were used by both German tanks and infantry
during World War II
• Pre 1940’s: Flares and spot lights were used
for operations at night.

22. Night vision Devices
It can be splitted in three broad categories:
• Scopes
• Goggles
• Cameras

23. scopes
• Normally handheld or mounted on a
weapon, scopes are monocular (one eye-
piece).
• Can not be worn like goggles.
• The average useful sight range for Gen 1
is about 75 yards

25. Goggles
• While goggles can be handheld, they
are most often worn on the head.
• Goggles are binocular (two eye-pieces)
and may have a single lens or stereo
lens, depending on the model.

27. Cameras
• Night-vision capability is desired in a permanent
location, such as on a building.
• Cameras with night-vision technology can send the
image to a monitor for display or to a VCR for
recording.
• Best high definition 1080p security camera with
300ft of long range night vision and 2.8-12mm
lens to keep an eye on large properties.

29. HOW DOES IT WORK?
Two technologies are used for night vision:
(1)-Thermal Imaging
(2)-Image Enhancement

30. THERMAL IMAGING
• A special lens focuses the infrared light emitted by all of
the objects in view.
• The focused light is scanned by a phased array of
infrared-detector elements.
• The detector elements create a very detailed
temperature pattern called a thermogram.
• It only takes about one-thirtieth of a second for the
detector array to obtain the temperature information to
make the thermogram.

37. Generations
• NVDs have been around for more than 50 years. They
are categorized by generation.
• Each substantial change in NVD technology establishes
a new generation.
• Generation 0
• Generation 1 (GEN I)
• Generation 2 (GEN II)
• Generation 3 (GEN III)
• Generation 3+ (GEN III OMNI IV - VII)
• Auto-gating
• Figure of Merit

38. Applications
•Military
• Hunting
• Wildlife observation
• Surveillance
• Security
• Navigation
• Hidden-object detection

41. HOME ASSISTANT

42. INTRODUCTION:
• Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg's personal project for 2016
has been to build an artificially intelligent, voice-controlled
assistant for his home.
• Now that he's finished the first version of his own "Iron
Man"-inspired Jarvis, he's considering giving away the code
he created.
• In a lengthy Facebook post on Monday, Zuckerberg
described how he went about creating his digital butler for
his home in San Francisco. He spent a total of 100 hours
building the assistant, which can control his lights and
music and even make toast with a retrofitted toaster from
the 1950s.

43. "In some ways, this challenge was easier than I
expected," Zuckerberg wrote. "In fact, my
running challenge (I also set out to run 365
miles in 2016) took more total time. But one
aspect that was much more complicated than
I expected was simply connecting and
communicating with all of the different
systems in my home."

44. Things Zuckerberg's personal
assistant can do:
• Play music based on his or his wife's preferences,
depending on who asks
• Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan, his wife. Mark
Zuckerberg / Facebook
• Since Zuckerberg trained his assistant to recognize both
his voice and the voice of Priscilla Chan, his wife, it will
play different music tailored to whoever asks. If the
mood is off, they can say general statements like
"That's not light — play something light," and the
assistant will correct itself.

45. "In general, I've found we use these more open-ended
requests more
frequently than more specific asks," Zuckerberg wrote. "No
commercial products I know of do this today, and this seems
like a big opportunity."

Facebook
Zuckerberg used Facebook's facial-recognition technology to
scan the faces of his visitors from cameras positioned at his
front door.

46. HOW IT WORKS:
• "I built a simple server that continuously
watches the cameras and runs a two-step
process," he wrote. "First, it runs face
detection to see if any person has come into
view, and second, if it finds a face, then it runs
face recognition to identify who the person is.
Once it identifies the person, it checks a list to
confirm I'm expecting that person, and if I am
then it will let them in and tell me they're
here."

49. VOICE:
• Like Amazon Alexa, Jarvis can be activated by voice
(or by text) and connect with various objects in the
home.Zuckerberg has said he was inspired by Iron
Man.

51. FUTURE PLANS:
• While the assistant is too tied to his own home now, Zuckerberg is
considering creating a different version to give away or become a
"foundation to build a new product."

• In his post explaining how Jarvis works, Zuckerberg wrote that "over
time it would be interesting to find ways to make this available to
the world."
• "I considered open sourcing my code, but it's currently too tightly
tied to my own home, appliances and network configuration. If I
ever build a layer that abstracts more home automation
functionality, I may release that. Or, of course, that could be a great
foundation to build a new product."
